I've also found it exceedingly tedious, but I'm not sure how you could make the data schema any more simple. I think it really needs a well thought-through JOSM and Potlach interface, because it's really creating relations, adding metadata to them and adding in every house/way that is tedious. JOSM could be clever enough for you to just create a way, say "this is odd house numbering starting at 1 and ending at 53", create the other ways and then say "these numbering ways relate to this street way". That would save *a lot* of work! Regards, Tom _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
